About ARKTEK GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

The Arktek GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB is a high-efficiency performance card that historically served as the flagship of the GTX 16-series. Built on the Turing architecture (TU116), it was engineered to offer a more affordable path to high-frame-rate 1080p gaming by omitting the specialized Ray Tracing cores of the RTX line while retaining the architectural speed and efficiency improvements.Technical SpecificationsThe GTX 1660 Ti is distinguished by its 1,536 CUDA cores, a step above the 1,408 cores found in the Super and standard models. It features a base clock of 1,500 MHz and a boost clock of 1,770 MHz. While it has a slightly lower memory clock speed (12 Gbps) compared to the Super's 14 Gbps, its higher core count allows it to maintain a performance edge in many compute-heavy gaming scenarios, effectively rivaling the legendary GTX 1070 in raw power.ComponentSpecificationGPU ArchitectureNVIDIA Turing (TU116)CUDA Cores1536Memory6GB GDDR6 (12 Gbps)Memory Interface192-bitTDP / Power120W (450W PSU Recommended)Thermal Design & Extra FeaturesThe Arktek variant features a robust dual-fan cooling solution with a metal protective backplate, which provides both structural integrity and passive heat dissipation. Despite its modest 120W power draw, this cooling setup ensures the card stays quiet and cool during extended play. Like its siblings, it includes the Turing NVENC encoder, which is highly regarded by content creators for producing high-quality streams with minimal impact on system performance.
